"I heard the Nezha film you invested in had a box office of fifteen billion." Manager Xu proactively initiated the conversation.
"The predicted box office is over fifteen billion, and it’s roughly estimated to end up around there. This ti it’s going to break records.
But mainly, it’s because Director Yang Zhou is incredible; I’m just the one who forks out the money."
"People who say that usually have a hidden talent." Manager Xu pointed at Chen Yiyang, "I’ve long seen you’re either lucky or your vision is extraordinary. Have any of your investnts lost money?"
"Just lucky, just lucky," Chen Yiyang quickly replied.
Nowadays, his fa is growing, and his every move can’t be hidden anymore.
Everyone knows that Chen Yiyang’s investnt vision is absolutely beyond most geniuses’ level.
He’s either got a cheat code or is the genius among geniuses.
Of course, the main reason nobody’s kidnapped Chen Yiyang for research is still because his investnts are too scattered, and most aren’t large scale.
After all this effort, he’s only a billionaire.
Whether it’s the two "Mas" dostically or one "Ma" abroad, their rise was much faster than Chen Yiyang’s.
Overall, Chen Yiyang’s current evaluation in top-tier business investnt still falls slightly short compared to Musk.
"Let’s cut to the chase." Manager Xu directly began with the main matter.
"I heard you acquired a paynt license?"
"Yes." Chen Yiyang nodded.
"Getting the paynt license has a small hassle, which is not being able to change the na, you know."
"I know." Once you buy a paynt license, you can only use the original na and can’t arbitrarily change it.
But after buying it, Chen Yiyang definitely wants to find a way to change it to Yiyang Paynts to establish his brand imdiately, so users understand which paynt channel it belongs to.
However, compared to getting the paynt license, this is much simpler and not urgent.
"Help out a bit, and I’ll help you smooth out so connections, letting your paynt license change nas quickly, how about that?"
"You’re too kind, Brother Xu." Chen Yiyang hastily replied, "I’d be more than happy to help you."
"To put it bluntly, this is more of a personal favor I’m asking. It’s simple, just help watch a show and judge if the female lead in it has the potential to develop in the film industry."
When Manager Xu ntioned this, Chen Yiyang understood the situation.
It’s likely a second-generation looking to break into the entertainnt industry.
However, their parental connections didn’t include any links to the entertainnt scene, so they first invested in shooting a show to test the waters.
If there’s potential, the parents will help by pulling connections, finding contacts, and investing money to help this second-generation develop in the entertainnt industry.
If there’s no potential, they’ll probably still help, but won’t invest too many resources, not treating it as a business venture but rather as sothing to amuse the child by investing a little money for fun.
Finding Chen Yiyang for this indeed makes sense.
Because Chen Yiyang is now recognized in the industry for having the best vision.
Manager Xu took out a USB stick and gave it to Chen Yiyang. Chen Yiyang took the USB stick and played it on a computer.
It’s another anti-corruption drama, but the scenes are quite simple, and the filming techniques are basic, showing low investnt.
However, when the female lead appeared, Chen Yiyang was sowhat startled by her looks.
With this appearance, unless she goes for codic roles, it’s tough to stand firm in the entertainnt industry.
Nowadays, the entertainnt industry has increasingly high demands on won’s looks; even if not top beauties, they should be pleasing to the eye or have distinctive features.
But the actress in this series has an ordinary face, which might even look a bit unattractive on the big screen.
Let’s look at her acting.
Well, almost nonexistent, it’s clear she didn’t co from a professional background.
"What’s the na of this female lead?" Chen Yiyang asked out of curiosity.
"Her surna is Ren," Manager Xu gave a slight hint.
Chen Yiyang imdiately realized whose child this was.
"So, not suitable?" Manager Xu asked.
"Most likely not suitable, she lacks both acting skills and looks. If her parents were in the industry, they could still use connections to hype up her popularity.
But her elders are all in business, and they might not want to resort to such thods for fa, fearing loss of face."
"Then let’s forget it. I’ll let them know later." Manager Xu didn’t seem concerned.
It looks like no one but the girl herself is optimistic about her entering the entertainnt industry.
This is quite alright.
Chen Yiyang bears no ill feelings toward the girl.
Since it’s clear this simple little drama was produced solely because of her, it’s not the kind that squeezes out others’ resources.
No big stars were hired to boost the show.
She’s considered a quality, affluent second-generation.
Curious, Chen Yiyang continued watching for a while.
Then he noticed that although the drama is roughly shot and the acting sowhat amateurish.
The male actor playing the villainous drug dealer had so interesting acting, standing apart from the rest.
Chen Yiyang imdiately thought of the anti-corruption drama he previously invested in, which was still missing an actor for the villainous boss role.
So, Chen Yiyang paid attention to the actor’s na in the drama’s end credits.
After leaving Manager Xu’s house, Chen Yiyang called Xu Liubai.
"Have you found soone for the main villain role?"
"Haven’t found anyone yet, and now I’m afraid to look." Xu Liubai couldn’t help but complain to Chen Yiyang, "Since the Nezha box office hit the charts,
people in the industry imdiately learned you invested in my project as well and included three of your stars.
Now, half of the entertainnt industry is inquiring whether this role has been filled yet.
Anyone I recomnd risks offending people. I beg you, Mr. Chen, please specify soone, so the crew can issue an announcent."
"Alright." Chen Yiyang thought for a while and said, "I just watched an unreleased drama with a male actor who caught my attention, nad Zhang Songwen. Do you know him?"
"I know him. I’m quite familiar with this person. He’s an actor, but rarely anyone uses him as an actor. He’s usually hired to help idols crossing over into acting improve their skills rapidly, kind of like a performance coach. I have his contact saved, I’ll send it to you later."
"Alright." Chen Yiyang nodded.
Many idols or singers cross over into acting and have no ti for systematic learning.
What can be done is to hire performance coaches, not regular coaches but those specifically dedicated to helping actors rapidly enhance their acting skills.
For example, if an actor takes on a role, the coach will first study the role, figure out how to perform it, act it out themselves to complete all preliminary work.
Then they teach the idols or singers, guiding each action, look, tone, and deanor.
